Defence barrister Geoffrey Lowe, asked for a psychiatric report to be prepared before Bradburn is sentenced but after hearing that he has a previous similar conviction and has attended part of a rehabilitation course Judge Mark Brown ruled that such a report was unnecessary.

Sentence on Lowe, of The Avenue, Leigh, was adjourned until August 15 to enable a pre-sentence report to be produced.
